    Default Catching up on old old movies

    Been using the last few days to watch old movies I kept putting off
    Watched Diabolique, Room at the top and In a lonely place. Plan on watching Baby Face next.
    Anyone a fan of the classics and seen these? What movies from the 30's to 50-'s would you add? -Mike G

    Watched Gaslight last night.
    More entertaining than I expected it to be.

    Catching up on old Hitchcock Movies. Dial M for murder with Ray Milland & Grace Kelly. It was "ok", a lot more dialog than action.
    Many more classics to go. But It's kinda hard to watch his movies now, knowing what a scumbag Hitchcock was.

    Corso, the 1931 movie "M", directed by Fritz Lang, with Peter Lorre as
    the bad guy. It is pre-code, so it feels more modern.

    The one with the robot - I can’t remember the name - but that’s by Fritz Lang, isn’t it? I can see the image of the robot but not the name.

    That’s it. The images from that movie are terrific. A photographer’s movie I think.
